Mostly - as I said in my reply while you were sending this out, it worked for someone (barring typos in what was committed) but it
*might* break something later (typically, something will fail to compile and need a patch or a sed - I've seen that happen with toolchain changes, but also with e.g. bison, grep)

Yes, I know that is how windows users use email, but that doesn't make it right for a technical list. Not everyone uses thread-view on all lists.

Look at it from my perspective, I scroll through each e-email top to bottom every time I look at it for its context because I assume top or bottom is a matter of preference that is acceptable or it would be otherwise be indicated in a way that makes sense to me. You'd think I'd be biased, but I'm not... and I'm still not. K? I'll try to remember just for you guys.
